Chapter 147: People in the Sound Valley

  "Little brother, what's wrong?" Jiang Yize asked with some confusion.

  Yang Yu Xi gazed at Xia Yun Xuan for a moment, then said to Jiang Yi Ze: "Nothing, Brother Jiang, you go first, don't let me delay your business. It's fine if I go find Yu Yan later."

  Jiang Yize furrowed his brow, having noticed Yang Yu Xi's eagerness earlier. It was clear that he had been looking forward to seeing Lan Yu Yan, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

  However, he didn't dare to ask, and instead, with a hint of embarrassment, he cupped his hands together in a gesture of respect towards the three of them: "In that case, I won't force it. We'll be staying at the Fugui Inn in Luoyang City; little brother can come find us when the time is right."

  "Alright, Brother Jiang, take care." Yang Yu Xi also bowed his head slightly.

  Jiang Yize and three others nodded in agreement, then turned around and left, walking towards the city gate.

  Yang Yu Xi turned his head to the two women and said in a low voice, "Let's go quickly." He didn't want to be recognized by Xia Yun Xuan, so he spoke to the two women and then led the way towards the right side of the city gate, disappearing from their sight after a few ups and downs.

  The two women exchanged a glance and followed him as well.

  At this time, Jiang Yize also arrived at the city gate and exchanged greetings with two men. He said something to them, and Xia Yunxuan's gaze happened to be cast towards where Yang Yu Xi and the others were previously.

  ………………………………

  "Yu Xi, what's wrong?" Zhou Yu Xiao asked Yang Yu Xi in front of him from the woods to the right of the city gate.

  "Who knows him, today is not normal for a day. No, it's never been normal." Huo Qiema crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain.

  If it were before, Yang Yu Xi would have already started arguing with her, but today Yang Yu Xi obviously didn't have the mood for it, he hadn't even recovered from what happened earlier.

  It was here that he unexpectedly met Lan Yu Yan, one of the four great joys in life is to meet old friends in a foreign land, Yang Yu Xi's joy can be imagined, but what followed was the person he least wanted to see in Yuese City - Xia Yun Xuan, although he wasn't afraid of Xia Yun Xuan, it was still better not to see him if possible.

  The appearance of Xia Yunxuan made Yang Yuxi's joy disappear, and also brought him a question: How did Lan Yu Yan and others have a relationship with Xia Yunxuan?

  Moreover, the man in front of Xia Yunxuan, if Yang Yuxi was not mistaken, should be the Lord of Luoyang City. Throughout the entire city of Luoyang, apart from this lord, Yang Yuxi really couldn't think of anyone else who could make Xia Yunxuan follow him.

  After thinking about it, Yang Yu Xi still couldn't figure it out, so he got lazy and didn't bother to dwell on it. Maybe it was just a small matter after all. He turned around and asked Zhou Yu Xiao: "Yu Xiao, what's this 'Yin Gu' you mentioned earlier? I haven't heard of it either."

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ disdainfully "cut" a sound, completely forgetting that she herself didn't know either.

  Yin Yu Xian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yin Gu, is just a sect, one of the top few in the current orthodox school, not much different from the Confucius Sect. However, most of its disciples are women. As the name suggests, Yin Gu is most famous for its achievements in music, and almost all of its disciples are masters of sound. Just like my brother, they use musical instruments as weapons. Of course, there are exceptions in Yin Gu, such as Jiang Yize from earlier. He is the only one in Yin Gu who does not learn music and specializes in killing techniques. Most male disciples in Yin Gu are from this lineage, which is usually responsible for guarding Yin Gu. As for Jiang Yize himself, he is the leader of this generation of Yin Gu disciples, and his strength is probably not much different from my brother's, also at the legendary level."

  Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yuxiao's voice became somewhat solemn: "And there are rumors that one of the nine major yuanqi, the Lingqin, is in this Sound Valley, only it has never been confirmed."

  Upon hearing the name "Yuán Qì", Yang Yùxī's eyes changed slightly, after all, the task that the Western Desert Sand Emperor had entrusted to him to find Yuán Qì still had no progress until now.

  Yang Yu Xi said: "I remember that among the nine yuan qis of the Confucian school, there is a Confucian sword. Does this Sound Valley also have one?"

  Next to Huo Qiema, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, wondering what she was thinking. For this ancient family, they didn't need to care about the royal court or sects, but the Nine Yuan artifacts still had a fatal temptation for them. If any family possessed one of these artifacts in an era, that family would absolutely dominate all other families, and far surpass them.

  Zhou Yuxiao shook his head: "The Confucian school has the Confucius sword, this is a well-known fact, and it has also been verified. But the Sound Valley having the Spirit Lute is just a rumor, no one has ever seen it, if it's true, the Sound Valley wouldn't have been suppressed by the Confucian school all along."

  Yang Yu Xi nodded, Zhou Yu Xiao's words made some sense, but it was also possible that Yin Gu was intentionally hiding his true abilities. These major sects were to a certain extent like the ancient aristocratic families, always keeping their good things hidden and understated, pretending to be more humble than they actually were, with depths that might be incredibly rich!

  Thinking of this, Yang Yu Xi raised her head and glanced at Huo Qi Ma with a look of disdain.

  Hu Qiema was furious and pointed at Yang Yu Xi, about to scold her.

  However, Yang Yu Xi didn't give her this opportunity and directly asked Zhou Yu Xiao: "Then are those seven women from Yin Gu?"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ felt that she had been played by Yáng Yǔ Xī, her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes staring at Yáng Yǔ Xī were about to spew out fire.

  Zhou Yu Xiao nodded: "Yes, those seven women should be the new generation of Rainbow Seven Fairies of Yun Xin."

  "Rainbow Seven Fairies?" Yang Yu Xi suddenly remembered that the clothes of the seven women were indeed red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, and Lan Yu Yan was corresponding to the blue color.

  "Uh-huh. The seven most outstanding women of each generation in the Sound Valley are revered by the world as the 'Rainbow Seven Fairies'. Each of them possesses a different musical instrument, and their attainments in music are unparalleled among their peers. Their personal cultivation is also not to be underestimated, and since they form a group, their combined strength is matchless."

  Yang Yu Xi scratched his head: "Sounds really tough, Xiao Yan Er is really tough!" He couldn't have imagined that Lan Yu Yan, who left Yucheng alone, would be so capable. Suddenly, he had some admiration for her, but he forgot that he too was someone who had trained to this point by himself.

  "Xiao Yan'er? Yu Xi, who is Xiao Yan'er?" Zhou Yuxiao asked impulsively, and only after asking did she feel a bit abrupt, her face slightly red.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ let out a soft hum, gazing at Zhōu Yǔ Xiāo's face with a cold smile, seemingly disdainful.

  Yang Yu Xi didn't know what was going on, he had never felt this nervous when seeing Lan Yu Yan before, but suddenly it appeared when Zhou Yu Xiao asked him that question. He blushed and scratched his head, stuttering: "Uh, that, uh... Little Yan is... the one I mentioned earlier, Lan Yu Yan, she's my childhood friend... uh, I used to call her that when I was a kid..." As he spoke, Yang Yu Xi didn't even have the courage to look at Zhou Yu Xiao.

  He was puzzled and wondered what had happened to himself?!

  In fact, Zhou Yuxiao didn't dare to look at Yang Yuexi either, but a sudden surge of emotion made her, although her face was flushed, still stare at Yang Yuexi without moving.

  On the other hand, Hu Qiema came over like an insider who knew everything, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and a completely nonchalant look as if he was just watching a show.

  Zhou Yuxiao listened to Yang Yu Xi's answer, feeling a bit relieved in her heart, but also a faint sense of regret flowing out, slowly seeping into the depths of her soul.

  The sky gradually darkened.

  ………………………………

  The city of Luoyang is bright with lights, and compared to its night market, the night market in Fenghui Town is not worth mentioning.

  This is truly the meaning of "as bright as day", probably only Chang'an City can compare with this place, but Chang'an City is after all an imperial city, and at night it doesn't dare to be so lively and noisy, so if you want to talk about the prosperity of a night market, this Luoyang City is probably the best in the Great Zhou.

  At this time, in the largest inn in Luoyang City - Fulaikai Inn, ten people sat around a table in a Tianzi room, having dinner together.

  These ten people were none other than the eight from Sound Valley, plus the Lord of Luoyang City and Xia Yunxuan.

  This Luocheng City Lord, Luo Wushen, is said to be a top-notch expert. In his early years, he even mixed with the underworld, but was somehow subdued by the current emperor and even reused. The number one heavy city in the south was also handed over to him, and the degree of trust can be imagined.

  Although he had been the city master for many years, his gangster temperament from back then hadn't weakened much. On the contrary, since here the sky was high and the emperor was far away, with no one greater than him, his temper had a tendency to grow even bigger. However, towards that Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, he was still extremely respectful and never spoke out of turn.

  At this time, the delicate wooden door of the elegant room was opened, and as many as six waiters brought in dishes one after another. The fragrance of the dishes instantly filled this spacious elegant room.

  Luo Wushen's face still had a scar from his youth, but he didn't seem to mind. He stood up and bowed to the people of Yīn Gǔ, smiling: "Everyone from Yīn Gǔ, Luo Wushen welcomes you here, let's have a drink first." As he spoke, he took a jug of wine from a nearby servant's tray and drank it in one gulp.

  In no time at all, a pot of strong liquor had him drunk as a lord.

  "Heh heh, feel free to do as you please." A pot of wine downed, Luo Wushen was still expressionless and had no reaction at all. It seems that those who have mixed with the underworld have an unusually large capacity for liquor.

  Jiang Yizhe was a straightforward person, and seeing Luo Wushen's grandeur, he immediately felt a surge of heroic spirit. He stood up and bowed to him: "The city lord is so generous, I, Daiyin Valley, thank the city lord." As he spoke, he also picked up a jug of wine from the small table and drank it all in one gulp.

  Looking at him again, he didn't get drunk and unexpectedly had a good capacity for liquor.

  Luo Wushen and Xia Yunxuan both flashed a hint of admiration in their eyes.

  "Good!" Luo Wushen laughed loudly and invited Jiang Yize to sit down, then turned his head to the waiter and said: "Hurry up with the dishes, and make sure there's enough wine!"

  The little servant boy responded with a "yes" and went back down.

  After a while, the wine and dishes were almost ready. Luo Wushen waved his hand to let the waiters retreat, then his eyes became somewhat heavy, scanning each of the eight people from the Music Valley one by one.

  The eight people in Yīn Gǔ all shuddered slightly and straightened their backs, knowing that the main topic was about to be discussed.

  Luo Wushen drank another cup of wine, put down his cup and said in a low voice: "Is everything ready?"
